1. Paint nails with a merlot micro shimmer polish. 2. While the polish is still slightly damp, place a piece of scrap lace over the polish and line it up per your design. Smooth the lace out over the polish so it’s flat. Coat with Seche Vite Top Coat and let it completely dry. 3. Use acrylic paint with an ultra-fine brush and paint the swirls on the various nails with a few little scattered rosettes.5. Once dry, paint on a second coat of the Seche Vite, avoiding all lace pieces. (You cannot coat the lace with the top coat as it will darken any of the white or lighter colored laces.)6. Add stones, pearls, and tiny gold caviar beads. Use the beads to frame the stones and flowers.
